PLP Project Goals
Our team’s most important goal was to model and encourage the use of 21st Century skills and digital technologies. We wish to support our teachers in the implementation of the Web 2.0 tools in their classroom by providing updated equipment and professional development. Ultimately,
we hope to enable our teachers to develop a curriculum which includes skills students will need
for the 21st Century and beyond.
